Our forum members tend to prefer the smaller, personal gatherings so this is the first of two events that we're recommending people from here try to get along to this year. With only two events, we're hoping that will encourage more people to attend each one. This is also the last event emulator and game-maker extraordinaire Tom W will be able to attend for a while, so yet another reason to get along. We'll have a Retro Software stand with some of our current stock, and will endeavour to show off whatever surprises we can bring together.
Assuming good weather, we'll probably also have a forum pub lunch at the Navigation Inn, which is within walking distance.
As usual, do let us all know if you're planning on attending by posting a reply to this topic.

Typical! Definitely not attending as I'm running a radio/electronics show in Suffolk on the same date I have really liked to get to this Wakefield one too.

Hmmm... Seems like it's the week for Acorn related sites going AWOL... All the pages on the Wakefield Show domain appear to be missing at the time of writing... /
So, for us Southern Softies, where the bl**dy h*ll is Wakefield then ?
Nice to see Replay moving a little further south - by 2018 hopefully it will have moved to somwhere near Milton Keynes so it doesn't take 4 days to get there and £3million in diesel

Cor! Maybe by 2025 it'll have made its way down as far as Mallorca
Anybody visiting the Retro Software stall will be treated to a preview of Bomber Blaster, Tom Walker's Dynablaster-alike, that supports up to four players on a BBC Master.
You'll also be able to see the release candidate of Jools H's 2D interpretation of Muscle March on the Nintendo Wii, entitled Mixed Grill March which will be officially launched at next month's RetroVision event in Oxford.
The latest preview versions of Dave Footitt's Mountain Panic (v0.8) and Blurp will also be available for callers-by to try out, whilst the recently-completed, final(?) builds of MazezaM, SameGame and Sparse Invaders will be on display, as will other Retro Software favourites.
Last but by no means least will be a WORLD EXCLUSIVE(!) first preview of Darren Izzard's BBC/Electron conversion of Jon Cauldwell's Byte Me for the ZX Spectrum.
According to Darren, All the in-game stuff is there - every level, monster and powerup - and you can play using keyboard or joysticks ... all that is missing is sound/music and although the hiscore table is displayed, you can't add to it as of yet.
We also hope to have an Electron there, running Byte Me and Bomber Blaster, as well as other Retro Software classics such as Repton TLR, Jungle Journey, Hyper Viper, Hard Hat Harry and MazezaM.
